10 Signs You Are A Cemetery Geek (but friends think you are a freak)

Halloween is almost here and the cemetery geeks of the world know all about the places that scare and disturb so many. If you can relate you must be one of us.

1. People hate going on roadtrips with you

You rubberneck as you drive past that little cemetery and find yourself making the quickest U-turn you can. Your passengers groan. Here we go again!

2. Your idea of going out is to a graveyard!

Free time is valuable! What better way to spend it than wandering a cemetery, taking photos?!

3. You feel at home in a cemetery

Others squirm or shiver at the idea of visiting cemeteries, but you feel the peace and see the history and beauty.

4. Finding something weird in a cemetery is like winning the lottery!

You find headless statues interesting. The strange things left behind are an endless source of fascination to you. Creepy Cemetery stuff is COOL to you. Others think it is just creepy and you are too.

5. You have a Google Maps of cemeteries.

You search all the cemeteries trying to find one that you can drive to and back in one day. You will drive 5 hours for 2 hours of photo shooting, then back home. ( No one wants to go with you... see #1)

6. Snakes? What? You laugh at danger.

Actually... you forget to pay attention to basic safety rules as you get so distracted by the amazing cemetery you MUST see in the worst area of the city or that knee-high weed-covered old cemetery filled with snakes and other critters! (But you lived through it - didn't you?!)

7. Jokes about liking the dead better than the living are funny.

8. Your social life consists of online cemetery groups.

You have a Facebook page, a web page, a blog, a podcast, an Instagram feed, Flickr account, and of course Twitter.... all about cemeteries.

9. Rain or shine, snow or sleet, we deliver

Weather will not stop you from getting your shots of that cemetery you have finally made it to. You will walk a mile in the rain. You will freeze in winter winds just a little bit longer... a little bit longer.... a little bit longer...

10. Halloween is your favorite time of the year!!
